NOBLE NATION impressed when scoring at Naas on heavy ground in March and could bounce back after disappointing following a 15-lb hike. Velvet Skies has shown ability in big-field handicaps, notably when second of 27 at the Curragh, and could improve returned to turf. Are You In Or Out won over course and distance in June.
